I'm fundraising towards Whizz-Kidz' vital services for young wheelchair users. Please sponsor me and help transform young people's lives.All young people face challenges, but for a young wheelchair user society can be that bit more challenging to navigate. The right wheelchair is more than just a set of wheels; it can be the key to unlocking a young person’s potential.Whizz-Kidz’ range of services give young disabled people the chance to lead a fun and active childhood, while gaining independence and growing in confidence.

Who am I - Up until March 2021 I hated running due to suffering with shin splints. I could barely run half a mile, let alone contemplate a marathon! But running was something I always wanted to enjoy.

Like a lot of people I began to struggle with my mental health during the Covid-19 pandemic. Upon hearing a colleagues Couch to 5km story I realised this was what I needed to get me through. It was a new focus that was just for me and didn’t involve anyone else (except a lot of support and encouragement from my family). So I downloaded the Couch to 5km app, put on some runners and started my journey. It was a struggle to begin with but 3 years later I love running and am totally addicted. I have worked hard to resolve my issues with shin splits and now run regularly 3 times a week. I have completed several 5km, 10km and I set a goal of running a half marathon in 2023. I went on to run 10 half marathons in that year.

I am now determined to complete the TCS London Marathon and raise as much money as I can for Whizz-Kidz'. I would love your support! Whizz-Kidz’ are an incredible charity that do amazing work for young wheelchair users. Running on their behalf has spurred me on even more.

Any amount you can donate would be very much appreciated by me and Whizz-kidz'. Thank you xx
